In 10 years he would still only have played a few more seasons, but that is operating under the assumption that he gets back to his younger self. Which history has dictated in the past that is highly unlikely to happen for WR's over the age of 30. Won a championship, stayed healthy and PED free. And even you using your own time frame of 3-4 more years, you are definitely saying in the 6-10 year time frame he is a 1st ballot HOF'er.
He's not.

Well, no. Unless I messed up the math again. Worst case scenario he retires after a couple seasons? That would mean his first year of eligibility would be in 6-7 years right? Move that date 3 or so years and he'd be eligible in 10.
He lost a big chunk of the 2021 season to his first serious injury, and this season was a suspension.
But every season before that for 5+ season he went over 1,000 yds, over 12yds/reception, over 100 catches/season, around 9-10 TDs/season . . . close to 70% catch rate?
And I watched him play since coming to AZ, because I live here, so guess what I get to watch a lot of? And in 2022, I went to a pair of games, so I saw him when he first came back, and then a couple months later. There's no drop-off. Maaaaybe he's a half-step slower. Maybe.
Give him a top-12 QB and an OC worth his weight in Kit Kat bars, and DHop would be rolling off 1,100yd/seasons just like he was a couple years ago. JFC, he just reeled off
717 yds, 11.2yds/cth, 64 rcpts, 80yds/gm, with a 67% catch rate with four different QBs, not one of which ranked higher than 19th in QBR/PRTG. Basically the proverbial bottom of the barrel as far as QBs go.
2+ seasons, he'd be around/close to 14,000 yds, over 85+ TDs.
Another couple seasons, maybe he's over 15,000/100TDs?
Sounds like HOF numbers to me.
